as a user i noticed two things about your site that I would have liked.
1. to be able to add keywords on the view image page
2. to be able to adjust the size of the frame on the image page, well It just seems odd to me that the image pages pictures are not set up to be as attractive as the preview page.They are smaller, could they be the same size?

Interesting point as many of the keywords don't necessarily match the image very well and adjusting the keywords would improve the search for other users.

My only hesitation with this is... there are some unscrupuous users who would enter completely random keywords or even delete existing keywords or spell keywords incorrectly... rendering the search worse! The only way to do this would be to have a pending revision list - authorised by admin... but with hundreds of thousands of images - that could be an administration nightmare!

Very good point.

The two pages use a different loading technique for a very good reason. The main page (with the very large window that expands to your browser) uses a simple div with max and min heights. This image is hotlinked! (and max and min heights don't work with some earlier versions of IE)

Some sites use a system to block hotlinking or swap the image for something less desirable. With this in mind, if this does happen, the view image page does not rely on this because it uses an iframe.

My current problem is that while I can control the max-height and max-width of a standard div, I do not have the same flexibility with an iframe....

I checked it out looks nice, good job.
i viewed some nice images, is there a way for me to share them? or do i just have to link to them?
nevermind, dah its a search, i should just link to the search to promote your site and link to the original author for specific images.

The site is a mixed bag due to some loading issues and the theme itself. Some of the images clash but overall I can see your vision and wish you the best. Are you planning anymore updates and pictures?

Interesting... "Loading Issues and theme itself"???? Could you expand on that a little so I can remedy it?

When you say some of the images clash, I'm not sure what you mean. This is a search engine, so some of the images are bound to clash - it depends entirely on what it finds!

As for updates, I'm working on several SEO entry pages (without much success yet) and possibly recent searches - although these can be a nightmare.

When you ask if I am adding any more pictures...isn't 337,948 enough for you? The crawler is constantly working and adding new images to the index, so in answer to your question..... yes!

... or am I to understand you didn't get it was a search engine?

Thank you.

I know what you mean about the flashing thing and I would have prefered it to do as you suggest.

My problem is space... or lack of it. I have already streached the limit of what I can get into the fold with the large preview section on the right. This has only been possible with an expanding span, runnin from the thumbnails. If I have it permanently there, it will block your ability to use the UI and form controls.... a pain!

My major focus ATM is increasing image count. TBH the indexer works quite quickly. What takes the time is visually checking each image.... arrgghh.

I might set up a community system where the community checks the images. That way, I could run the crawler faster and release my time to do other stuff on the site. My problem with this is.... who apart from me would want to check through thousands of images either passing or failing them based on quality????
